bandvita:
norbert, thomas and uli played in different formations
from the rhein-neckar-area, steve and thomas worked
on diverse studio-projects together, smitty d. was no stranger
within the new york underground/hip-hop scene before coming
to germany.

spinelli XYZee was founded by norbert and thomas
PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND RAP was born!

with some material arranged by norbert and thomas
they went to steve in his analog 8-track-studio in ladenburg/heidelberg.
the influence of steve robinson (former AERA band member) made a great impact on the originality of the project, new songs emerged in 1993 in berlin where the collaboration with jost hohenberg started.

the interest of producers / labels was huge, but there was a lack of capturing the soul of the music.

WE DIDN´T GO FOR IT- NO DEAL!

spinelli was buried and disappeared 30 years...
before reincarnation in 2023

bandvita:
norbert, thomas, steve und uli spielten in verschiedenen
formationen aus dem rhein-neckar-raum. steve und thomas
arbeiteten bei diversen studio projekten zusammen, smitty d.
war kein unbekannter in der new yorker underground / hip hop
szene bevor er nach deutschland kam.

spinelli XYZee war 1991 die inspiration von norbert und thomas
PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND RAP was born!

mit einigen von norbert und thomas arrangierten songs gingen
sie zu steve in sein analoges 8-spur-studio in ladenburg.
steve robinsons ( ex. AERA band member ) kreativer einfluss trug
viel zur originalität des projekts bei. neue songs entstanden 1993
in berlin in zusammenarbeit mit jost hohenberg.

das interesse von produzenten/ labels war groß, zu sehr wurde aber versucht unserer musik die seele zu rauben.

DAZU WAREN WIR NICHT BEREIT – NO DEAL!

spinelli wurde zu grabe getragen und verschwand 30 jahre
bevor sie 2023 reinkarnation feierten.
